Kaveh

POV: Alhaitham
— Hey, you've been sitting next to me quite often lately. Don't tell me you've actually started liking my presence? — the architect said with a smile on his face

— Do you remember? Living with you is my research topic. — Alhaitham replied, reading a book

— Oh, really? And what are your conclusions?

— Well, I've looked through some books on neurobiology. I am experiencing increased neural activity in the mid-insular cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the caudate nucleus, and the putamen.
On the other hand, there is a decrease in activity in the two posterior cingulate gyri and the two amygdalae, as well as in the prefrontal, parietal, and medial temporal cortex of the right hemisphere.
It's... fascinating.

They remained silent for a few seconds, and then Kaveh spoke:
— ...Please translate that. I don't speak "Alhaitham-ese"...

— ...I have a meeting. Alhaitham said, putting the book aside

— At least give me a hint!

— ...Fine. For your information, the caudate nucleus is an area rich in... Dopamine (a substance in the brain that helps us feel pleasure and interest). See you later.

— Dopa... Kaveh froze, his face turning red
Two hours later, Kaveh was sitting on the sofa when Alhaitham entered the room:
— Good evening. Oh, you haven't moved a single centimeter in these two hours. Interesting...

— "Interesting"? What's interesting about that!? You lied to me just to conduct one of your experiments, didn't you!? Kaveh shouted stifledly, through tears

— Who knows. Wait, are you crying?

— Of course not! I'm going back to work. I no longer have any time that I could waste... on someone who plays with my feelings out of curiosity! With these words, Kaveh left.
